Dear Chizuru. 

You must be surprised by this sudden letter.

When we are always close to each other, there are times when it is difficult to put my thoughts into words, even if it's something that comes from the heart.

I have written this to put what is in my heart into words and convey it to you.

I would be happy if you would read this to the end.

The first time I met you was at the end of the third year of the Bunkyu era (1864). It was during the incident where the Furies went on a rampage.

Even though you were dressed as a man, I knew at a glance that you were a woman in disguise...

But I never imagined that you were Kodo's daughter. Were we bound together by some invisible fate?

My true feelings at the time were… that I thought this situation was troublesome.

I can say this now, but I wondered whether Kodo was still alive, and what we would do if we found him...

Because back then, even we didn’t understand the situation.

So, to tell you the truth, you should have just run away.

If you had run away back then... you would have definitely been spared.

The Shinsengumi were not so heartless as to chase and kill a woman who had run away.

Amidst all this, you decided to stay with the Shinsengumi in order to search for your father.

And you tried your best to find your place among us.

But to me… your presence was both dazzling and an eyesore, as someone who had lost their place in the Shinsengumi.

There were times when I was harsh to you...

But you always cared about me after I became Fury.

Before I knew it, we were having conversations, eating meals together… and sometimes even going for walks at night.

Now that I had died and was cut off from the outside world and my friends, you've become a small source of refuge for me.

So I wondered, what else could I do for you other than improving the Furies?

Of course, I had the noble cause of wanting to restore the lifespan of my comrades and that of my own.

...But what I was thinking in my heart was, what I could do to not make you feel responsible.

And then an idea occurred to me. What if, with Kodo's help, I could return Furies to their human form? That would be the best solution.

This wish of mine caused me to part ways with the Shinsengumi.

But... you followed me.

Back then, I couldn't put into words how surprised and happy I was...

But now I can express those feelings.

...My dearest love. I am truly happy about your actions.

Even if my body crumbles and scatters into dust, my love and feelings for you will remain forever.

And now, you have come with me to this foreign land, far away from Japan.

Do you know how much I love you?

Thank you, Chizuru, for everything. And I will continue to love you.

...Well, I think I'll stop spilling my feelings here.

If I praise you too much, I'm afraid I'll end up feeling embarrassed the next time we meet.
